Far from the land of Antarctica, a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.
For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer.
Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fish’s blood and measured its freezing point.
The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1.88℃ and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to -2.05℃. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.
The scientists’ next research job was clear: Find out what in the fish’s blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein(蛋白質(zhì)) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point.
Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules(分子) held in special positions within each big protein molecules. Because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein, or AFGP.
49. What is the text mainly about?
A. The terrible conditions in the Antarctic.          B. A special fish living in freezing waters.
C. The ice shelf around Antarctic.                  D. Protection of the Antarctic cod.
50. Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature?
A. The seawater has a temperature of -1.88℃.    
B. It loves to live in the ice-salt mixture.
C. A special protein keeps it from freezing.        
D. Its blood has a temperature lower than -2.05℃.
51. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. A type of ice-salt mixture.                      B. A newly found protein.
C. Fish blood.                                           D. Sugar molecule.
52. What does “glycol” in the underlined word “glycoprotein” in the last paragraph mean?
A. sugar                      B. ice                   C. blood                      D. molecule

Nothing is more pleasing and romantic as flowers in the bedroom. Now, a new study says that the sweet smells of flowers in the bedroom can also lead to sweet dreams.
Researchers in Germany have carried out the study and have found that sleeping with flowers in the bedroom may encourage sweet dreams, a major finding they claim could help nightmare sufferers to and extent.
They came to the conclusion after an analysis of the sleep patterns of 15 female volunteers for a period of nearly 30 nights, a leading British newspaper reported on Monday.
The researchers pumped scents of rotten eggs, roses or no scent under their noses for nearly ten seconds while the women were in the Rapid Eye Movement period of sleep when a dream occurs.
The subjects were then woken up and asked to record their dreams. The smells had an effect on the emotions of the dreams but did not become part of the dream in that the women exposed to roses did not dream about roses the study found.
There was a correlation between the negative smells and negative emotional scores the sleepers reported from their dream.
According to the researchers, it’ll be interesting to study nightmare sufferers and if positive smells can actually influence the mood of their dreams as a form of treatment in the future.
The study has been presented at the 2008 American Academy of Otoblaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation Annual Meeting in Chicago.
46. What is the best title for the text?
A. A recent study on dreaming           B. Smells influence one’s dreams
C. Do you want to have a good dream?    D. Flowers in the bedroom lead to sweet dreams.

A. a, c, b, d     B. d, c, b, a    C. a, c, d, b    D, d, b, c, a
48. The underlined word “correlation” in paragraph 6 can be replaced by _______
A. combination  B. coincidence  C. connection  D. cooperation
49. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. People are very sensitive to smells at night.
B. The subjects were tested on when they dreamed
C. Pleasant smells get sleepers to dream of roses.

Do you have bright ideas? Ideas or inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encourages young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16, and there were eleven prize-winners altogether.
Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was called “Sunshine Superman(超人)”. It’s important when people study the weather to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neil’s is more accurate(精確的) and this is very important for research into the way of using solar(太陽的)power.
You can do so much with animated（模擬有生命物體的）cartoon. Look at Simon West’s idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isn’t a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,” said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving , horses running or a car falling over the edge of a cliff(懸崖). Quite a warning!
The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn’t ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of “pupil power!”
61. The writer thinks that people seldom ______.
A. have bright ideas                            B. turn their bright ideas into reality
C. make their life easier                         D. think of inventing something
62. The organizers of the competition hoped the schoolchildren who joined in it would ___.
A. become good designers for future Britain      
B. invent something for immediate use
C. design something useful for the next day       
D. win as many prizes as they could
63. Neil Hunt’s design would finally lead to the improvement of the way of _______.
A. recording direct sunshine                       B. recording the hours of sunshine
C. using the energy of the sun              D. knowing how strong sunlight is
64. What’s the use of Simon West’s animated road signs?
A. To warn people to be careful while working.  
B. To warn people on the roads of the danger ahead.
C. To add to the beauty of a city.                       
D. To help make a car trip more exciting.
65. The writer seems to be encouraging the British industry to ______.
A. take better care of schoolchildren               
B. help schoolchildren in their studies
C. stop asking schoolchildren for suggestions                   
D. pay more attention to schoolchildren’s inventive power

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
Violent（暴力的） computer games have been strongly connected with aggression(好斗) in teenager boys in a study that shows the machines are increasingly becoming substitutes(替代品)for friendship.
The research provides powerful support to the doubt that actual violence could be one of the factors behind the crimes of aggression including young people. John Colwell, a lecturer at Middlesex University, who carried out the research, said aggression in boys seemed to increase with the amount of playing such games. “There are many facts to suggest there is a connection between playing computer games and aggression,” he said.
Previous studies have shown only a certain relation between such games and aggression. This conclusion was uncertain because it could mean that children who played the games did so because they had shown a sign to violence. Colwell's work shows, however, that there is a strong link, meaning that playing such games makes children more aggressive. He reached his conclusions after studying the behavior of 204 pupils aged 12-14 from a school in north London.
Children became obviously more aggressive the longer they had been playing violent games. They shouted, pushed and hit other children. Those who played in occasional bursts showed little effect. All the children spent many hours playing such games. Nearly 97％ of boys and 88％ of girls were regular users. Almost the boys, the heaviest computer users tended to have the fewest friends and reported seeing their machine as a friend.
41. Why did most of the computer users have few friends?
A. Because they felt very proud and lonely
B. Because they seldom left their homes
C. Because they regarded the computer as their only friend
D. Because they spent more time working in the computer
42. In fact, one of the factors connected with crimes is that _______.
A. children spend many hours on the computer studies
B. many boys are interested in violence{007}
C. children always play violent games in the computer
D. many girls become more dishonest up to now
43. How did Colwell prove his own views from the passage?
A. He studied nearly 97％ of boys' actions.
B. He studied the behavior of over two hundred children in a school.
C. He studied almost 80％of girls' actions.
D. He often talked to those little computer users in his home.
44. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word “heaviest” in the last paragraph?
A. fattest      B. slowest      C. most dangerous     D. greatest number
45. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. aggression in girls and boys seemed to come from the computer
B. playing computer games is no good to all the children
C. Colwell's studies showed the computer is connected with violence
D. the computer games can have a connection with violence

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
David Beckham had a dream: to be the first English player to appear in four World Cups.
But now it appears that dream is over after a serious injury to his Achilles tendon（跟腱）which means he could be out of action for around six months. With this year's World Cup in South Africa only three months away, sadly Beckham looks set to miss out.
The injury happened while Beckham was playing for AC Milan against AC Chievo in the Italian league. After attempting to kick the ball he collapsed to the ground and hobbled off the pitch before being stretchered（被擔(dān)架抬走）away.
It is not yet known whether he has completely severed（切斷）his Achilles tendon or only torn it. The player has now flown to Finland for assessment and treatment by a knee specialist.
England manager Fabio Capello fears the worst for Beckham's World Cup chances.
"We have to wait for the results of the scan but it looks like he is out of the World Cup," he said in a statement. "I spoke with him after the game on Sunday night to offer my support.
"David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow."
Beckham's former manager at American club LA Galaxy, Alexei Lalas, echoed（共鳴）Capello's words of support:
"It is a horrible situation for Beckham. I know how much it meant to him to be in the World Cup and how important he was to the England team.
David Beckham is now 34 and some are asking whether this serious injury could mean his whole career is over.
Whatever happens, as one of football's best-known and popular players, Beckham will have no shortage of encouragement from fans around the world.
Some will remember Beckham's miraculous recovery from an Achilles injury in 2006, when he was back on the pitch after only eight weeks.
If he could repeat the same feat，in time for the World Cup it really would be the stuff of fairytales.
So, perhaps all is not lost. Optimists will take heart from Alexei Lalas' words:
"You never want to write off（排除）David Beckham as he has shown us his ability to bounce back（恢復(fù)原狀）."
56．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Beckham had a dream?
B．Beckham—a great football player!
C．The end for Beckham?
D．World Cup in South Africa!
57．What does the author mean by saying “missing it will be a big blow?”
A．Missing the World Cup will be a big success.
B．Missing Beckham means a great failure.
C．Missing Beckham means an important opportunity for the American club LA Galaxy.
D．Missing the World Cup means a big disappointment for Beckham.
58．We may infer from the passage that____________
A．Beckham will definitely not be able to play football again
B．Beckham was cured by a great knee specialist he found
C．Beckham has his ability to bounce back
D．Beckham is likely to miss the World Cup
59．What do the underlined words “take heart” probably mean?
A．get disappointed      B．get help    C．get encouraged D．get hurt
